Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, I have been using Alpha Anywhere at work now for about 3 weeks. For the web application project I am working on, we need to put a fairly standard type of link at the bottom of the page, a simple anchor that sends the user back to the top of the page. Now on any normal website or web application I have made before, this is incredibly simple. I would just make a normal link like this:
This should also work:
In modern browsers, both of these should work without having to take an element that is at the top of the page and give it the ID of top, but I tried that was well, giving a container at the top of the page a "top_of_page" ID and then linking to it in the same way as above. None of these 3 things worked so I went into the developer debugging in the browser and inspected the link to find that once the page was created, the link changed itself to
Now I'm just guessing, but what it seems like is happening is that Alpha thinks I am trying to link to an actual page I created in Alpha named #top_of_page.a5w or something like that, and is trying to resolve (res = resolve here maybe? that's why I thought this, but again, guessing) to that page and failing. Obviously this is such a common thing for a developer on the web to need to do that I find it doubtful that there isn't a way to do it within alpha, but I have not found anything in the documentation about this or anyone else who has encountered this problem after a couple hours of searching and reading. Now I could probably make the link to the page itself, but that is going to just act like a reload of the page, which is not what I want/what is called for. If anyone here can help me out so I can fix this for my boss this weekend and not look incompetent, I'd really appreciate it. I would really rather crawl into a hole and die than have to tell him I can't figure out how to make a damn link to the top of the page. Thanks in advance.
